a year's worth of rain falls in just one day. some of the heaviest rainfall ever recorded in europe. mostly coming up pride during war time. the fight for equality in ukraine, l g b t q. campaigners stage demonstrations in the face of some of the hello i'm terry martin. thanks for joining us. torrential rain and flooding of left at least 22 people that in southern brazil, thousands of others had been forced to flee their homes after a major storm battered the southern state of rio grande, the diesel with more rain forecasts authorities a warning there could be further flooding the almost the whole town of monsoon is on. the water is just one of dozens across brazil's rio grande de do sole

state that have been flooded. the local governors said that it's here that most casualties have been found to solve. hundreds of people will save time. hundreds of people who are rescued from. but unfortunately, i received information that 15 bodies were located in a town of monsoon. this is immensely painful and raises the festivals from 6 to 20 . 1. people across the region have been falls from the homes by the flood waters is about the soda water was going to put everything seems down. we were already putting things on top of the table on top of that would still, but it didn't help. others say the storm has already taken everything. they had a few epa states. it's almost everything that many people who lost much more,

but i have nothing. this is just the latest extreme weather event to bring misery to the residence of brazil, southern most states, another psych land back in june left the teen people dead. the scientists say climate change is helping make storm stronger and more frequent while rescue as a rushing to help residents authorities, a warning that that could be yet more misery to come with more rain full cost in the coming days. at least 7 people have died in severe flooding in greece. turkey and bulgaria storms have dumped vast amounts of water on south eastern europe with greece recording the highest level of rain fall since 2006. the floods in greece follow a weeks of droughts and wild fires that destroyed vast tracts of forest and farm land. the government says climate change is to play. the water

cascades through the narrow streets of greek towns and cities. as here on the island of scott to us on the nearby mainland, the mayor of regional capital bolos begs his fellow citizens to seek shelter. i told you the river's will flooded everything. you have no idea how much water is still to come. this here is only the beginning, the whole city will be flooded. the flooding has destroyed roads and caused blackouts in parts of central grease. after a long stretch of droughts, the arid ground is unable to suck up the water masses in just 18 hours. more than $750.00 leaders of water fell per square meter. that's around an average of

years worth of rainfall. over the summer greece is government has been baffling. hundreds of wild fires only to face the next extreme weather event. and i push it to the 14. i think everyone realizes their sudden weather phenomena that will be on the capacity of humans to deal with that that no matter how many flood prevention work, there are nice what's on the middle of this one of the unprecedented volume of waterfall . this happens ever in the world. we will unfortunately have flooding. able for much of greece as prime minister has blamed the extreme weather events on climate change. figuring the careless summer's in his country may be a thing of the past. but let's cross now to athens where our correspondence, sophia, cliff talk, is standing by sophia, give us a sense of how much damage the flooding has call so far as well. the

situation is dramatic. right now, terry, especially in the 4th city of bolos in central greece, where samuel, the storm hits dramatically yesterday morning and the heavy rain falls, continues throughout the night. and still we spoke to some residents develop just a few minutes ago that told us that they are trapped in the houses to drive the switch up and their cars on main street, on the city, and also siege amount of mount sandy on web terry's down to the city, so uh right now uh it is on the if it's out of control and of course residents are afraid. oh, so the only thing they can really do is so afraid. so things are out of control as you say. and i understand there could be more flooding to come. what's the forecast? yes, indeed. indeed,

there is more to come as daniel is expected to hit the wider region of africa today . uh right now in athens. uh, it's leaning not so strong as we saw the moment it started on this hour ago, but also all the parts of things, not just the low, so also on charge of the nice in area as well. and it will continue. this continues and expected for the next 24 hours. at least at least flooding comes hot on the heels of huge wild fires in greece. how is the country coping with these conditions? slow very difficult. uh the oh, sorry. can you come by civil in the affected areas just say indoors uh for now and to avoid um, do i go somewhere else? seems to be safe to try to be safe if possible. and um, also the residents you spoke before and this shows this fee or told us that the message we got in order to get back to a, in the villages of mount stadium,

for instance, that they tell me. um they came too late for the so again, let's remember the fires in july and all those because the city of all of the fact that as well. so. so again, the man is more reactions and that's preventing of the slightest, the anger, of course, in the population because people feel unsafe and they feel left alone. sophia, thank you very much for now. that was our correspond sophia clip hockey in athens. well africa's 1st climate summit is set to wrap up in i. roby today. leaders are expected to sign a declaration calling on industrialized countries to help them pay for measures to tackle climate change. though responsible for less than 4 percent of global emissions, africa bears the brunt of climate change. the rustic weather patterns with droughts and floods have led to food in security. in many countries in africa,

the un estimates that by 2030 africa will lose 2 thirds of its airable land because of the certification. well, we can talk now about this with the executive secretary of the united nations convention to come back to certification. mr. terry chow at the u. n. u r leading efforts to combat the certification. it's a huge problem for africa. has the africa climate summit done anything to address the problem? a yes indeed. it's one of the issues that has been a discussion here. the whole issue is about pushing security in africa. wireless africa has a large problem. it is very clear that we are losing stuff by loans to be yeah. and why is the population needs to grow?

and so it is quite unstable at the moment. on top of that, you have a major destruction sleggs throughout africa as i just the 350, the last 100 years, 100 years. so it is certainly one of the issues that you called ridiculous transition. uh, as they quoted you. certainly one of the issue is that the meters of okay, got you just give us an idea, mr. child of the impact that the certification is having on africa. does this progression is this, the lubbock, this the create anything of this tablet, special for the economy of to come to this? as you know, i'm already set to is the main source of income. so when you have, when you lose your labs on your site, and then what's your problem, you lose your agriculture and you for a production at the same time. as you mentioned earlier,

your workshop is lots of trouts on the floods that's coming as disruptions. now for the economy that is largely dependent on culture, it is certainly a pay stub. yeah. now it is one of the reasons why food in secuity is that i'm from to not pick up. not only because of the destruction of disruption, so you have, can you claim on so forth, but this, the cost of the subsidies i should of the economy of africa due to this. this is one of the reasons why we feel like you're testing on it as storing loans, creating a motors and jumps. because systems would create a more resilient economy and the communities in africa. what do you see as the main obstacles to addressing or climate emergency in africa or the other way around? what's key to solving the climate prices for african areas

need must have invested this one is the energy energy temperature is very important . leaders of africa, of africa, according to a must have been decimal on the renewable energy from the 56 and you got them, you got what? they, they went from one to 300 to go by 20 seconds. and this is critical because this means industry. i think becomes a bit of the shriveled up all over the country. sports afraid we're going to have to leave it there. we're having trouble with the line to nairobi that was abraham child, executive director of the united nations convention to combat the certification. now, one goal of the summit was to attract significant for an investment to up to the african continent. unlocked potential of renewable energy for an investment requires a reliable political frameworks. the recent military,

coups in west africa speak a different language. as you are watching dw, there's set a look at some of the other stories. speaking, new making new was around the world. today, venice will introduce a charge of 5 years for visitors to enter its historic center from next spring. as the battalion city tries to stand mass tourism, the trial moves to trial move comes weeks after unesco recommended vendors be added to its list of world heritage sites in danger. partly because of over tourist u. k. government has announced plans to officially designate the russian state funded by the military group as a terrorist organization. the move was unable to take to seize the groups by the has play the central role in the war and ukraine and in russian operations in syria

. and 3 people have been rescued off the coast of australia after their boat was attacked by sharks. the inflatable kind of rent was roughly 800 kilometers away from land. when the incident happened, both hauls of the vessel were damaged by the ocean predators. the sailors on board are due to arrive in brisbin tomorrow. you in the world food program is dropping 2000000 people from food support. enough chemist on the agency blamed a massive shortfall in funding altogether over 10000000 napkins have been dropped from food assistance since the beginning of this year. you in is raising the alarm over shrinking a into the country warning of a tester feed. if things don't change, it said the world food program now has to choose between the hungry and the star being in a country where most don't know where they'll get their next me to are they are. i spoke with ali la tc. he's the agent editor at the new humanitarian. he told me

more about the humanitarian situation in afghanistan. since the taliban re getting control, we just have to look at the u. s. to to sticks over the last 2 years. they've consistently said that something between 18 and more than 20000000 people will be in need of some kind of emergency assistance over wherever you were talking about 21. 202021. 20222023. and this year is no different this year. i think was estimated around 20 all ready. so now you're at a light. if you're taking away 2000000 more, 10000000 more. you're just adding to what it's already called the world's largest monitoring crisis. so it's very evident there's an issue here. who are the people most affected by the shortage of food? all the i mean, you're talking about, you know, very rural people. people who used to be farmers who are, were still farmers who, you know,

had had to deal with the devastating effects of in the last 2 years. earthquakes, floods drives who were already essentially living subsistence living. and then when the economy overall collapses and you know, investment lowers, they continue to suffer. they, they are suffering not only because of natural disasters that are beyond their control. they're also suffering because of economic issues that are also beyond their control. which means that they are finding more and more difficult to feed themselves and their children. so the people in afghanistan are not chiefly responsible for what they're, what they're facing. uh, it sounds like you're saying would you, whom would you say is chiefly responsible for the humanitarian crisis that we're seeing in afghanistan, a traditional community because you're talking about an economic crisis that was created after the telephone took over, which the international community knew were going to happen thing with this long

and i was coming back in power and immediately the conflict of sanctions banking restrictions, say with assets they cut back on age are continuing to cut back on while they are eating other countries that they feel are more important or something more valuable to them politically. and again, this is what the people are saying is that we are not, we are not this moment our, why are we suffering because of that. and you know, the, the sorts of a come back to these restrictions, all of these things. they also impact investor confidence. so even people, men and women who have found ways to work previously, even with all of the islamic camera restrictions. because investors are afraid to invest in the country because on the one hand, do you feel there's no market, you know, the yes, consumer spending basically flatlined and on the other. and you know, because of these restrictions and these functions and such is created this sort of perfect storm of negative economic impacts, right? just briefly alley, you say the international community is responsible and,

but what about the telephone? are they not responsible to? of course they are because at the same time you're talking about, for instance, let's talk about, you know, women only households which is a large portion of this country. it's not a negligible amount. and because for instance, let's say women in urban areas who used to be able to work for in any section of the government cannot really work in small segments of the government to even when they work in. and you always have to do it to work around and such that also impacts, you know, the ability of people to feed the pounds of the thank you very much. that was all in the tv is the editor at the new humanitarian spell to ukraine, which of course, is a country, a war with russia. but there is another baffle on the homefront. the fight for equality like many post soviet countries. ukraine has a problem with homer foby. i'm but the country is changing,

and campaigners are helping to make stuff happen. dw corresponded much tonda is in the eastern ukrainian city of hockey. and he talked to some active us there about confronting homophobia stuff. you and her fellow active, this one to be visible even though they know not everyone will be happy to see them as we speak stuff here. who helps organize how pride gets news of an anti eligibility protest elsewhere and tell them, you know, the, they are reduced to that kind of hostility. well, not the demographic smoker, you not to, we are a democratic country behind the house. don't wish i don't see any problems if this is how they want to show their opposition for the novel had to correct it's better than harassment. the divine. yeah. the rebels. it was a beating people holiday, which happens at that very often after pride. think it'd be surprised that they're more worried about russian missile attacks. that's one reason why only

a handful of people showed up. another is that many have left town, but also some are fighting the russians. the cut outs were present, those were absent. no rainbow without yellow and blue with this one reads the colors of the premiums. the signs of pride don't last long. so not even 2 hours later, some of the cut outs are already missing and they were brought not too far away. it's can see right here, let me pull it out for you. this one says, this could be monitor, which is at the front line, evacuating with some of the guys who did this are still at work and it appears not camera. is that a step i should, i don't think knows the time for promotional campaign, for this it would be more logical if instead of these posters,

there were photos of the boys who died in the wolf country. they sacrificed their lives not only for free fund, keith, but also for ukraine chapel as it does the heart of them and they'll pay you to them by the time for a few hits. at 11 o'clock, most of the cut outs are gone, destroyed, or defaced. the ukrainian law still only recognizes marriage between a man and a woman. but surveys show more than half of the premium support, same sex marriage and about a quarter oppose it. say, you know, these are intimate mattress. he, you mohammed a one spectrum orientation for you, but there is no need to show a bunch of natural benefits and then to the owners man, not affecting anyone else with this. everyone has a right to left, whoever they want to order in which is a draft law to recognize civil unions between people of the same gender was introduced to ukraine's program into earlier this year. that would be a major step for the entire career community,

especially those fighting and this war stuff. just partner, alina, is a career soldier. she's just returned home for her unit for break. she doesn't tied her sexuality from her comrades, says reactions have been mixed. the couple held a mock wedding with friends on us here for the whole life here. we have no real photos out there and it was national. we have a video of the ceremony x, that ammonia along with, but we still can't get married. and ukraine put a union in foss could the, to her so it's difficult to pretend there was something personal. there was some way we still can't get married to the moon with session and watch them all those like this. and she also knows like, oh other queer soldiers that if she is hurt or killed, her partner will have no rights to make decisions more for tomorrow. you to be sure that we want legal protection for our family to find a life together. you need protection from the state to what they've been the

a piece. we need recognition of who we really are until we are a family. and we see that family is fighting for ukraine's future and fear place within joined the but you know, slips and she is a member of ukraine's parliament and deputy had of the liberal hollows opposition party. she helped draft a bill that would give the same sex partnerships, legal status in ukraine. thanks for being with us. you know, so soon as the war impacting public opinion towards eligibility to rights in ukraine, and if so, how as well it is. what i would say is that 1st of all, there was a general positive trend ineptitude. so it's a tribute to people in a crate, you know, over the last 2030 years, it was slow, but it was still a progress in terms of, of improving. i think you would start with a little bit your community at, but because with the war 2 major factors have played in that that have significantly changed. that did,

you would still was sold to be 2 people. one are eligible to military, as you just reported. they have become quite a visible group and, and with the current situation, we're in a new crane. anyone who is wearing a uniform and, and risk and hazel her life to, to, to protect those civilians at dates of our respect. so the visibility of a military eligibility is of course, one major factor that contributes to acceptance of eligibility. but any trade, but the 2nd factor, and it's also important, is that putting did his best to connect, you repeat in integration, getting closer to europe with eligible to right. so now with this radical shift to in, in ukrainian mines when, when 99 percent of ukrainian supports you were a little over 90 percent support to european integration. everybody says that the trust raise our enemy. this also translates in people's brains in, in, but at to do to those of jupiter, the people who put in has been putting that into their brains. if you want to be in europe,

you will have to treat eligible to people properly. so now when people realize that they don't want to be with russia, the only way they have is, was your. so now they, they understand that they have to, to, yeah, they don't want to be home for because they put in. so, so that is why it is also changing. they say that would you be 2 people have more visibility in the ukrainian military now, but what about the attitude within the military itself, within the ministry of defense towards of the eligibility to community what's, what's that like a good talking to those people. i know that the attitude really varies from unit to unit from one command to to and i them, i have seen cases like like alina, that to, that it was. so when you reported she doesn't have any trouble with, with the, with your unit to end the except her for, for who she is. but i've also known some of the cases where people who came out as a skate, where it's and asked to talk to internal security because they thought that this is a risk. so it really varies. and the problem is that the, as of right now,

there is no specific guidelines inside to the army on how to treat, told to be to people. and, and any crane arisen yesterday, and it's really the minister of defense. mr. i think of uh was sacked to and blue i believe today the parliament to the point a new minister of defense. so we'll, we'll see how well, how he will handle this situation. because indeed the ministry of defense has, as well technically objected towards the legislation. i'm truly on under the technical grounds. so we will work with a new minister to see if he's position will be different rate. they've got to the low. but regardless of the law is also important to have specific guidelines on how to treat eligibility people and how to avoid discrimination of to be to people in the army just like we had for women. because we do have quite a significant portion of we've been fighting in the army and the specific guys that needs to be the same, pulls you between you know, salsa and member of ukraine's part of the thank you very much. thank you so much.

thanks. i it's you are watching d w and it was coming to live for from berlin up next we've got close up for you. wasted about romania is struggle with bad waste management and illegal dumping, terry martian for me and all of us here at dw,
